[Don McLean - When a Good Thing Goes Bad lyrics]
When a good thing goes bad
It's not the end of the world
It's the end of a world that
You had with a girl
Though it's hard to admit
That the memory's sad
When you think what you had
When a good thing goes badÂ
Love is so strange, it's a mystery to me
It's easy to change and to lose what could be
So you wait and you watch
For the one who'll agree
With the things that you need and
The life that you lead
When a good thing goes right
It's a joy beyond worth
As the roots of your love
Intertwine with the earth
And your bodies are one
But you're living for two
And your future looks bright, oh yes
When a good thing goes right
But time is the test
Like the sea pounds the rocks
And those who love best sometimes
Fail with the shocks
And the waves break you down and
You watch your love drown
And she's so far from reach as
You stand on the beach
When a good thing goes bad
It's not the end of the world
It's the end of a world that
You had with a girl
Though it's hard to admit
That the memory's sad
When you think what you had
When a good thing goes bad
It's not the end of the world
It's the end of a world that
You had with a girl
Though it's hard to admit
That the memory's sad
When you think what you had
When a good thing goes badÂ
Love is so strange, it's a mystery to me
It's easy to change and to lose what could be
So you wait and you watch
For the one who'll agree
With the things that you need and
The life that you lead
When a good thing goes right
It's a joy beyond worth
As the roots of your love
Intertwine with the earth
And your bodies are one
But you're living for two
And your future looks bright, oh yes
When a good thing goes right
But time is the test
Like the sea pounds the rocks
And those who love best sometimes
Fail with the shocks
And the waves break you down and
You watch your love drown
And she's so far from reach as
You stand on the beach
When a good thing goes bad
It's not the end of the world
It's the end of a world that
You had with a girl
Though it's hard to admit
That the memory's sad
When you think what you had
When a good thing goes bad
